Woot passed my final ist!

[rodriguez35]

9 pullups
63 crunches and 12:40 1.5 mile run.

means im shippingnext monday. MEPS on sunday. they also told me i must go to the RS to go to MEPS on thursday i wonder why.

Good going bro. Keep working and see if you can't get that run time down a little more.

I'm not sure how your CO does it, or how any other RS's do, but at mine, our CO makes his poolee's run an IST and Moment of Truth through him before he allows us to ship. I presume it's to make sure he's sending in people who actually stand a good chance of passing through and not depending on boot camp to straighten anybody out, plus the Moment of Truth, giving a last chance to come clean about anything the Marine Corps should know. This would probably also be used to weed out those who aren't very serious and leave room for recruits who truly do want to be Marines instead of wasting everybody's time and money on slackers.
I had all of that last Thursday and am headed to MEPS tomorrow and arriving on Parris Island on Tuesday so that's my experiences as far as what information you've given.
Good luck to you!

Good work, more than 2 minutes shaved off in 2 months. Remember you'll have to complete another IST once you get to the MCRD so put out even harder there.

[Gerken]

Great improvement on that run time, good luck at boot camp.
